Abstract

The purpose of this project is for studying and developing navigation mobile robot based on digital compass. This study and development was done because of several drawback from the current method that being used. For example Global Positioning Systems (GPS) is the most suitable navigation system for outdoor exploration for mobile robots because it communicates directly through the satellite and giving the specific coordinate of the transmitter location on the earth. But, GPS can only be used at the placed that have the GPS signal, meaning that it can only be used at the non-covered area (outdoor) and can’t be used at the indoor (inside building, cave exploration). Because of those problems, I have chosen this PSM topic as a navigation alternative. By using the digital compass most of the problems that stated above could be solved. It is because by using digital compass the system can be operated indoor and outdoor (no satellite restriction). Beside that when it collides with an obstacle, it will not loss its direction because the compass always directed to north where the current location can be referenced and it can be operated during daylight and night. The light intensity did not disturb the digital compass navigation system. All the data findings, building schematic and methods had been included in this report.
